bC el4~A ihA's $ NA7N.~'N oA oAAA1 country is nervous debility and prostration. It goes under many names but 1t IS esaen- tally the smi4e co.npla Tt. Hospitals and private instltu- tions for r.s'vous patients are crowded. 4 he average of life in the Uaited States is de- creasing eyery year. Sudden deaths from nervous collapse among our business, profess ional and pchlic men are so frequent q scarcely to excite remark. jae majority of sui cidcs, committed without ap- parent reason, or under so-called "dcpress.on of spirits" are really prompted by nervous prostlat;cn, which IS fruitful source of in7ality and crime with all tleir grief and horror.
 These facts are startling. They threaten the very life of the nation. They assail the springs of its power and pros pcrity. They wreck manhood's strength and woman's useful ness and beauty.
 | Every one should know the causes. What are they9 The answer is easy and terribly plain: Our vicious personal habits; our careless and lawlessj eating and drinking; the in. tense mental and physical strain arising from our mad race after money, position and influence; the fears and struggles of pov. erty; the use of narcotics and stinlulants; CUT fashion of turning day into night and night into day; and, briefly, our desperate willingness to pay any price for an hours pleasure or success.

 The remedy Is Q total aban- donment of the habits and cus- toms which cause the disease in each individual case, and the use of .Slaker Ertract of Roots (Seigel's Syrup to cure the mischief already done. This great remeuv, prepared by the Shaker Community of Mt. Leb- anon, N. Y., is especially adapt ed to eradicate Nervous Dys- pepsia. To do this 1t acts directly and gently but power fully upon the disordered stom- ach, liver and kidneys, restor- ing their tone and vigor, pro noting the secretion of bile, ex- polling este matters from the system, ,alnl purifying the blood.
 Upon the nervous system Shaker E&t,uctiSeigep Syrup) acts as safe and wholesome anodync without the slightest narcotic effect, and then leaves the nerves to regain their nat ural tone and strength through its wonderful influence upon the function of nutrition.
